Hirschhorn: 5 Reasons to Get Back Into the Market

It doesn't seem logical, but market coach Dough Hirschhorn says there are good reasons to climb back in.

Hirschhorn: Climb Back In

Market coach Doug Hirschhorn gives investors the five signs it's time to think about getting back into the market.

First, the masses are scared. As a result, no one wants to take a chance and that, says Hirschhorn, is when great investment decisions are made. (See the video)

By now you've learned the market is not a sure thing, you're more aware of the real risks and, hopefully, better prepared to see trouble coming.

Additionally, the government will not allow the economy to die and won't quit trying to fix the thing till they actually do fix it.

Finally, given all that's transpired over the last few months, the odds of the market moving up are greater than the odds of it dropping too much further.

Simply put, says Hirschhorn, it's time to stop worrying about what the market has done to you and to start thinking about what it can do for you.
